I think there are still 2 hard copies of the book on the shelf in Room 116 of the Whitney Humanities Center (on one of the shelves along the window side of the room--I think the middle one). If you have any questions that I should pass along to O'Brien, please email me directly and ASAP (<a href="mailto:richard.deming@yale.edu">richard.deming@yale.edu</a>) as I want to send the questions to him and to the list some time tomorrow.
